vita owners to start buying happy meals in droves

I already have Lolita on my Vita thank you very much.

The nerve.

hopefully this means less plastic crap and more paper crap, which is generally better for the environment.

But they did this last year as well. My daughter got a small Richard Scarry story. Wouldn't even call it a book, it had like 2 pages, and maybe 20 words.

Letting kids play with toys isn't detrimental in the slightest

Did I day anything of the sort? I just said teaching kids to love reading is a good thing for them especially in the long run. Playing with toys is great as well and a perfectly acceptable alternative. I had as many books as I did Legos growing up and it was great.

I am not sure why people are getting hung up on such an inoffensive statement.

Right into the fucking trash along with the apples.

Joining the list of books included with Happy Meals

If you need McDonald's to teach your kids to love reading, you already fucked up.

Terrible idea.

Genuinely curious when they'll stop asking if it's for a boy or a girl and just ask which toy you'd prefer.

hehehe. It was always a bit of an ordeal when all three of my boys were demanding Shopkins over whatever the "boy" toy was. Oh the power of YouTube.


edit: As for the books, they all got Pete the Cat books, which they love.

If you're looking to score a mini Hello Kitty or Star Wars figurine with your kid's burger at McDonald's, then you're out of luck.

Yeah that was never going to happen since Disney hasn't been a partner with McDonald's since the early 2000.

This nauseates me.

I have 2 daughters who are obsessed with Transformers, Marvel Comics, Star Wars, Adventure Time, you name it.

They couldn't give 2 shits less about Bratz, My Little Pony, etc.. but I pull up to the window and people are asking me if I have girls or boys, and I'm like "whats it fucking matter? I want the awesome boys toy (it sounds ridiculous but the boys toys are almost always higher quality), not the abhorrent pink monstrosities you're handing out to poor unknowing girls this week"

[Grizzo]

they've been doing that for a long time in France

you've always been able to choose between a toy or a book

 

[Vyer]

At least its not that Skippyjon Jones shit

 

[Boards of Canada]

My kids were fuckin' pissed when they got their Happy Meals last week with books in them.

 

[Romez]

They did this in the UK a few months ago with Roald Dahl books.

Parents: "Oh that's a great idea!"
Kids: "The fuck is this bullshit?"
